Okay, that's good.

I want to highlight as well that I became aware that the fires in Fort Mac had an impact of seven million work hours lost by the resource sector in Alberta, that there was a 40% drop in receipts by the sector as a result of the fires, and that exports dropped by 1.2% and imports increased by 13%.

Would you agree that we see impacts of climate directly upon our natural resource sector in Alberta that can be detrimental to that sector, in and of themselves?
